About A Minecraft Movie:
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures and starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, A Minecraft Movie, directed by Jared Hess, is the first ever big screen, live-action adaptation of Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time. Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn't just help you craft, it's essential to one's survival! Four misfits—Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

Lyrics:
Old bird dog, sittin’ on a log
Talkin’ ‘bout the evening news
Mississippi mud cat
Swimming down a riverbank
Singin’ himself the blues
Sayin’ I’m gettin’ gone
Ah, do you wanna go too?
Yes, I do

And now I’m down in the bayou
Next thing I knew
I’m hotter than a saxophone
Met a little gypsy, gettin’ half tipsy
Asked me if I wanna get stoned
She said “I’m gettin’ gone”
“Hm, where we goin baby?”
Ooo do you wanna go too?
I think I do

Oopsy Daisy, goin’ half crazy
Whatcha’ say baby ‘bout a little rendezvous
Oohooo
Oh, and it won’t be long ‘til they’re singin’ that song
‘Bout gettin’ half gone
Hey baby, do you wanna go too?
Ah tell em’ Snoop

Hm, plate full of chicken
Momma’s in the kitchen
Talkin’ on the telephone
Kids outside, while slidin’ on the slide
Daddy said leave me alone
He said “I’m gettin’ gone”
(He gone)
Shxxx
And do you wanna go too?
Oh, yes I do
Mmm

Jukebox playin’
Church folks is prayin’
Jesus take my soul
(Take my soul)
I met a little cutie
Said her name was Judy
She asked me if I wanted to roll
I said “I’m gettin’ gone”
(Oh we gone)
Shxxx
Do you wanna go too?
Huh, yes I do

Oopsy Daisy, goin’ half crazy
Whatcha say baby ‘bout a little rendezvous
(Rendezvous)
Hey, and it won’t be long ‘til they’re singin’ that song
‘Bout gettin’ half gone
Hey baby, do you wanna go too?
Ah, think I do
Listen

I met myself a little voodoo queen
Probably should’ve just gone home
Now we’re dancing ‘round the fire
Screaming at the sky
She’s got me chewing on a black cat bone
Next thing you know she pulled out a toad
And said take some venom from this frog
Then I saw God and came back to life
Now I’m back with the dog on the log
Buddy we’ve been gone
(Shxxx)
Mmm, do you wanna go too?
Oh yes, I do

Oopsy Daisy, goin’ half crazy
Whatcha say baby ‘bout a little rendezvous
Hey, and it won’t be long ‘til we’re singin’ that song
‘Bout gettin’ half gone
Hey baby, do you wanna go too?
Do you wanna go too?
Yeah, do you wanna go too?
Smoke one with Snoop?
Yes, I do
Ah, do you wanna go too?
Yeah, do you wanna go

Lyrics:
Light cast so long before sound, before song
falls on your eyes and the dance starts again

And in this grand ballroom of nothingness
your hand so warm with somethingness
we whirl and twirl and music’s invented again
In this grand ballroom of nothingness
we soar, we sail to the only song there’s ever been: Love
The only song there’s ever been’s just begun: Love
The only song there’s ever been plays again: Love
It’s love

How marvelous just to be anything,
circling the hall to divine harmony

And in this grand ballroom of nothingness
your hand so warm with somethingness
we swirl, unfurl, and music’s invented again
In this grand ballroom of nothingness
we soar, we sail to the only song there’s ever been: Love
The only song there’s ever been’s just begun: Love
The only song there’s ever been plays again: Love
The only song there’s ever been never ends: Love

And against such staggering odds of anything at all
that lonely poet Chance called the dance and built the hall
and, with such modest hands, drew up plans and gave us all

Love

Garbage - There's No Future In Optimism (Official Music Video) Hotney 9 Streams • 1 year ago

The official music video for Garbage's new single There’s No Future in Optimism, off their forthcoming album ‘Let All That We Imagine Be The Light’.

“I love the title. The band sent it me and I was like, “This is great. I’m keeping that.” But the lyrics are an action against that title. Because if we allow our fatalism or our negativity to really take over, we will crumble. It’s about a city, in my case, Los Angeles, but it could be anywhere where bad stuff is happening. After the George Floyd murder, which is one of few things in my life that I wish I’d never seen: I was changed entirely by seeing the footage of that cop kneeling on George Floyd’s neck. In Los Angeles there were huge protests and a lot of upheaval after that. Above our house in Hollywood, there were helicopters all day long, for days on end. It was really precarious, chaotic and terrifying.” - Shirley Manson

The night is dark and full of terror
The air is thick with helicopters
People marching, cops are swarming
The city’s on fire and the sirens are screaming

You and I, we have a chance
We could leave this place and rewrite our romance
Let’s go dancing, not talk for a while
The sky’s so beautiful, the stars are wild

Future, Future
Love, Love
Future
Future, Future
Love, Love
Future

There is no future that can’t be designed
With imagination and a beautiful mind
Did I disgrace myself, bring shame to the flock?
I was sick with resentment
I couldn’t help myself

The earth is shaking
I want to go home
The clock is ticking
We’ll go it alone
The rest is history, a host of mistakes
A strange turn of events
An unfortunate mess

Future, Future
Love, Love

If you are ready for love

If you are ready for love

If you are ready for love

If you are ready for love

If you are ready for love, If you are ready for love

LYRICS:

Let’s raise this chalice ov shattered hopes
Full ov ill-starred, poisoned wine
Let’s raise a grail and drink to him To Lucifer!
His light sublime

If I am god
Everyone is
If I am not
None exists!

Let’s drink for the tears he’s shed
He who wears not an angel’s shame
Let’s raise a grail and drink to him
To freedom's father!
The lamb's disdain

If I am god
Everyone is
If I am not
None exists!

Let’s toast he ov the impaling horns
Who bears the naked truth ov stars
An umbra free ov mortal coil
To Baphomet!
King ov Antioch!

Let’s drink to him, the morning sun
Beyond providence, beholden to none!

Lord ov Tophet,
Lord ov Gehinnom,
To Lucifer!
Whence aurora shone!

If I am god
Everyone is
If I am not
None exists!

Lyrics:
I ain't sayin' that I always sleep alone
I ain't sayin' that I ain't met no one else
Done a little bit of midnight movin' on
And I ain't sayin' when I do that it don't help

Leave with someone, I don't know her name
Pull her real close but I leave some space
And I could forget you girl for good
And even though I should

I never let my heart go all the way
Every time I try I just hit the brakes
And there's always a couple tryin’ to take your place
But I never fall in love baby just in case
You wake up wantin' me outta the blue
You lay down needin' what I used to do
Yeah every now and then I go get a taste
But I never fall in love baby just in case
Just in case

I always take it to the edge then I back it up
They don’t know I got a reason for actin’ up
I ain’t felt a damn thing baby after us
Yeah I’m just hoping you’ll come back to us

That's wishful thinkin' baby honestly
But I know you ain't forgotten me

So I never let my heart go all the way
Every time I try I just hit the brakes
And there's always a couple tryin’ to take your place
But I never fall in love baby just in case
You wake up wantin' me outta the blue
You lay down needin' what I used to do
Yeah every now and then I go get a taste
But I never fall in love baby just in case
Just in case

Leave with someone, I don't know her name
Pull her real close but I leave some space
Yeah I could have three words on my tongue
But I won't ever say 'em

‘Cause I never let my heart go all the way
Every time I try I just hit the brakes
And there's always a couple tryin’ to take your place
But I never fall in love baby just in case
You wake up wantin' me outta the blue
You lay down needin' what I used to do
Yeah every now and then I go get a taste
But I never fall in love baby just in case
Just in case

James Brown – I Got You (I Feel Good) Hotney 9 Streams • 1 year ago

"I Got You (I Feel Good)" is a song by American singer James Brown. Recorded and released as a single in 1965, it was his highest charting song and is arguably his best-known recording.

This is the second performance of James Brown and his band, that he did during the North Sea Jazz Festival on 11 July 1981, held in the Congress center in The Hague.

This second concert is extraordinary and sees a James Brown that really gives everything to get the audience to their feet. The first concert that we published on 5 October 2017 which was recorded by AVRO Television earlier that 11th July 1981 saw a lame audience that did not know how to react. In this fantastic video we see what James Brown could do with any audience. Also this concert has a different tracklisting including a sensational 'It's A Man's World' (also on our channel) in which he pays tribute to great artists who died such as Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and especially to John Lennon, who died some 6 months earlier.

James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer, dancer, musician, record producer, and bandleader. The central progenitor of funk music and a major figure of 20th century music, he is often referred to by the honorific nicknames "Godfather of Soul", "Mr. Dynamite", and "Soul Brother No. 1". In a career that lasted over 50 years, he influenced the development of several music genres. Brown was one of the first 10 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at its inaugural induction in New York on January 23, 1986.

Brown began his career as a gospel singer in Toccoa, Georgia. He came to national public attention in the mid-1950s as the lead singer of the Famous Flames, a rhythm and blues vocal group founded by Bobby Byrd. With the hit ballads "Please, Please, Please" and "Try Me", Brown built a reputation as a dynamic live performer with the Famous Flames and his backing band, sometimes known as the James Brown Band or the James Brown Orchestra. His success peaked in the 1960s with the live album Live at the Apollo and hit singles such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World".This is to let you know that the video recording of the video clip was originally recorded by AVROTROS Broadcasting. AVROTROS Broadcasting hereby warrants and represents that it is the sole and exclusive owner of the physical film and/or videotape footage in this video clip.

Illuminati Hotties: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 9 Streams • 1 year ago

Lars Gotrich | April 14, 2025
It’s really hard for us to say no to a confetti cannon. They’re so loud and unexpected! And make our messy Tiny Desk even messier! When used correctly, it adds an exclamation point to just the right note; rest assured, Illuminati Hotties punctuates this Tiny Desk with a burst of color… and, yes, an actual confetti cannon.

Illuminati Hotties’ punky indie-rock songs are silly, sophisticated and scrappy — Sarah Tudzin affectionately calls this music “tenderpunk.” There’s always a catchy hook underpinned by a sweetly devastating lyric, or a clever turn of phrase subverted by some stank-faced skronk. Tudzin, who leads Illuminati Hotties, elevates the band’s sound design through her job as a recording engineer and producer. If you’ve listened to recent albums by Speedy Ortiz, Weyes Blood and boygenius and wondered how they sound so good, Tudzin is part of the reason why.

Tudzin and her band hop, skip and jump through the Illuminati Hotties catalog, rearranging her songs along the way. “Pool Hopping” features a 10-second ska riff. Free I.H. mixtape favorite “freequent letdown” gets a little twang singalong. POWER’s “Didn't,” originally a Weezer-indebted rocker, becomes a banjo-led hoedown. It all speaks to the malleability of Tudzin’s songwriting. “We’re here to share joy. We’re here to inspire resistance,” Tudzin says in a mission statement before the satirical and sneering “MMMOOOAAAAAYAYA,” which gets a pointed last-minute lyric change of its own. “That’s the least we can do with our art.”
